They couldn't get them to work in Halo 1. And the fuel rod cannon self-destructed with an explosion.

Why couldn't it work? ( just asking )

  • 12.19.2006 5:05 AM PDT

You're kind of acting like Halo 1 came second and they just took them out!

It's like asking why you can't use the wraith laser turrets or the seraph or the phantom or the longsword or the pelican in halo 2 - because they just didn't put them in. The list of things that aren't in any given game is enormous.

The developers cant know what we (The gamers) like until they release something. If the get it wrong in the first, the correct it in the second. They may not have had enough time to develop the weapons, didn't want the player to become powerful, or the might not have even thought about it originally.

As stated, the Sword and FRC had a "Dead Man's Switch" which turned them off/blew them up. The Chief probably didn't know how to use a sword at the time (it may have some weird controls). Same for the Sentinel Beam.

With even the fuel rod cannon, i guess the covie freaks put self-destruct sequences on their powerful weapons so when they died, their weapons couldn't be used by us.

In high definition baby!

The first Halo was the first of the Halo series. And when Halo 2 came up, new weapons.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

Actually, the failsafes make the weapons explode once they make contact with the ground, not "When they die"
